But tonight, I’d like to speak of hope too, "h e said, announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign.“Let’s be proud, because we built this cathedral more than 800 years ago, we’ve built it and, throughout the centuries, let it grow and improve it. So I gravely say tonight: we will rebuild it togeth er, ”he added.The disastrous fire engulfed(吞没) the upper reaches of Paris’ towering Notre Dame Cathedral as it was undergoing renovations(翻新)。

Tourists and Parisians looked on horrified from the streets below. France’s Interior Ministry said firefighters might not be able to save the structure.The fire collapsed the cathedrals’ spire(尖顶) and spread to one of its landmark towers "Everything is burning; nothing will remain from the frame, "Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot told French media. The 12th-century cathedral is home to incalculable works of art and is one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, immortalized by Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.The cause of the fire was not known, but French media quoted the Paris fire brigade(消防队) as saying the fire is “potentially linked" to a 6 million—euro($6. 88 million)renovation project on the church’s spire and its 250 tons of lead.

When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999, it was far from clear that the country’s avid tea-drinkers would take to such a different-and usually more costly- source of caffeine. Starbucks trie d to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions(调和) such as Frappuccinos.But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(门户网站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10 % a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there.So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4bn.Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully.But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong ("internet viral") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片装饰) where better to sip and We Chat?8．How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers?A．By reducing the price slightly. B．By introducing the benefits of coffee. C．By making coffee taste not so bitter. D．By promoting its products effectively. 9．What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest?A．People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste.B．People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed.C．People in China can afford coffee now.D．Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture.10．What does the underlined word “kiosks” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Places where people can drink beer.B．Restaurants where food can be taken away.C．Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee.D．Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Coffee is taking off in China.B．Tea-drinking is not popular.C．Coffee or tea, which do you prefer?D．Coffee has become people’s favorite in China.Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10, 000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.But it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4. 3 years later, on average. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had died. Compared to women who took no more than 2, 718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates, "said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. "The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’smovements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are "good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces, "said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.“Any walking is better than nothing, " Diaz said by email. "With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced "For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits," he added. "Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.12．What conclusion can we come to from the text?A．People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.B．10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.C．The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.D．The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.13．How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?A．By giving examples. B．By comparison.C．By listing statistics. D．By explaining reasons.14．What can be leaned from what Diaz said?A．People who walk fast will get more health benefits.B．If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.C．People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activitiesD．Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking. 15．Where is the text most likely from?A．A medical journal. B．A news report.C．A magazine about fashion. D．A traveler brochure.二、七选五We don’t meet people by acc ident. 16．Some will help you grow, some will hurt you, some will inspire you to do better.
